{Here are some VERY early notes on the Three Family Series before
Louis had even written Sackett's
Land ... as you can see the names of the characters haven't
even become fixed yet. If you are familiar with LL's books in these
series don't let this confuse you too much ... he didn't have it
worked out yet and he made plenty of changes from this point on.
Actually, it is likely that after writing this out he never looked
at it again and didn't even remember it very well. Even though this
is a very early prototype for the Three Family Series it is probably
closer to the grand plan that Louis originally envisioned than what
he actually produced. When you get down there in the trenches with
your characters sometimes your plan of battle goes right out the
window.}
